Definition :

Fictitious entry, A fictitious entry is one which is not genuine. It is an unreal entry. Entries which are not genuine cannot confirm anybody's rights. It is too obvious to be stressed that an entry which is incorrectly introduced into the records by reason of ill-will or hostility is not only shorn of authenticity but also becomes utterly useless without any lawful basis, Bachan v.
